## Resource

Megyn Kelly is joined by Sohrab Ahmari, U.S. editor of Unherd, and Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, to discuss shocking delays in California’s vote-counting process that could still last weeks, governor candidate Steve Hilton and LA mayor candidate Spencer Pratt slowly losing ground as more late votes come in, concerns about election integrity and public trust, whether it's really possible for Nithya Raman to surpass Spencer Pratt in the mayor runoff, the latest New York Times report on allegations against Graham Platner, fallout from past controversies including a sexting scandal and Nazi tattoo, the latest NYT allegations about Platner's past relationships, the Democrat hypocrisy when it comes to Brett Kavanaugh and Platner, how past personal conduct should factor into political candidates, Karmelo Anthony’s "imperfect self-defense" argument in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, the legal challenges facing Anthony’s defense team, and more. Then James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, authors of "Rocket's Red Glare," join to discuss the threats facing the United States today, what a major attack on the homeland could look like, the sad decline in patriotism and the need to come together as a country, Patterson's journey from advertising executive to bestselling author, his humble beginnings growing up, and more.
